A simple wrap is just about the easiest dinner that you could possible make, and that’s only one of the reasons that I love making them for dinner. They can also be made an endless variety of ways, like these crunchy buffalo tempeh wraps!
This is not my first wrap on the blog with tempeh. (Check out this Korean BBQ Wrap recipe.) Tempeh is a great plant-based protein source that takes well to many flavors, adding to the variations on wraps that you can make! Continue reading

Has everyone had a great summer full of grilling? I grill out every Sunday night. This week, I made a grilled eggplant and herb wrap that is loaded with fresh flavor!
Are you a fan of eggplant? It can be bitter, and salting the eggplant helps to remove those bitter flavors. Also, the fresher the eggplant, the less bitter.
Some people are sensitive to eggplants bitterness, and others not. Therefore, this may be a step you can skip if you don’t notice the bitter flavor of eggplant. Continue reading
Have you tried Korean BBQ, or gochujang sauce yet? In these Korean BBQ tempeh wraps, the spicy gochujang is balanced by cool cucumber and creamy mayo.
Gochujang sauce is spicy, which is one reason I love it. If you (or a member of your family) don’t like spicy, try using regular BBQ sauce in the skillet and personalize each wrap with spicy Korean or sweet American BBQ sauce. Continue reading

This summer, time has not been on my side. I always seem to have less than I need (or want) to get things done. I have been eating these easy hummus and pickled pepper wraps for lunches because I can literally make them in 2 minutes.
So, a little news for you all. I have taken a new job! I don’t talk much about my “real” work here because that’s not what this space is about. The prep for the upcoming semester has kept me from this space, and I apologize for that. Continue reading

One of my favorite tempeh recipes is my gyro tempeh tacos. I used it as inspiration when I made these pineapple sriracha tempeh tacos. They are fast, fresh, and perfect for summer!
The pineapple sriracha combo has a great sweet and spicy complex. I flavored the tempeh very modestly, just so that it wouldn’t be bland, and added some crunchy cabbage as filler. Continue reading

A few months ago, I developed an easy homemade mole sauce recipe. Most of the time I think of meat based dishes when I think of mole sauce. Therefore, I have been playing with the sauce finding good vegetarian uses, like these mole black bean tostadas with slaw!
If you missed it, the first mole sauce recipe I posted was the mole jackfruit street tacos. This recipe is moist and delicious, but I thought it was lacking protein. Therefore, I started working with mole and black beans. Continue reading

This months recipe redux theme was Fresh from the Pumpkin Patch! Pumpkin is a great fall ingredient that has many uses, beyond pumpkin pie! Because pumpkin is a little bit sweet, it pairs well with spices. I made these chipotle pumpkin black bean enchiladas to balance that sweet, with some heat!
I made this recipe with canned pumpkin puree. The puree is so easy to keep on hand and add to meals, but cubed roasted pumpkin would also be delicious! Continue reading

The humble tortilla can be used in so many delicious ways, it is one of my favorite starting points for meal planning ideas! This week, I decided it was time to try homemade vegetarian chimichangas, so I made jackfruit mushroom baked chimichangas!
One package of tortillas can make many different types of meals, without loading up your grocery list. I also made these burritos with my tortillas, and both meals were a hit! Continue reading
